receptacle (1, end the reaction of the chlorin begins anew. The process may be altered in that manner that at first the receptacle (1 is perfectly filled with fluid chlorid of tin or that at first a certain qurnlity of chlorin gas is admitted into the receptacle; but the chief point is always to use during the process the reaction of un anhydrous fluid in combination with chloriu on the compressed bundles of the tin scraps alone or in combination with chlorin gas.

Another point in this process is of importancethat is, to alter the pressure in the closed vesselduring the recess. By altering the pressure it is possi le to secure a complete and quick reaction even between the most closelyacked surfaces of the tin scraps, and it is of a vantagc to guide the process in such manner that the pressure in the vessel is so augmented that at the end of the operation the overpressure is, for instan'ce,'one at mosphere above the ordinary pressure.

If in the beginning of the process the reacting agents come in close-,contact with thev surfaces of the bundles of the tin scra s, the reacting agent when passing over the 1rmlvcompressed bundles will naturally be eagerly taken up by the tin on account of its great aifinit forfthe chlorin; but as soon as the cluei action of the chlorin has taken place at the reaction will slow down. so the parts of the tin scraps winch are firmly compressed and whose surfaces are m closest. contact.

creasifigthe same the reacting agent is dri you into the nnrrowest channeis' or interstices of the tin scfhps, so that the whole surfaces are detinuedf r It is'aily tobe seen that the altering or increasing of the pressure in the vessel is of In- Stead of increasing the )rcssi'lre in the vessel it is possible to dnninis l the same and then It is important to avoid a gretit increase of temperature during the proee's. For this purpose the anhydrot'ts fluid is of value, for it may be the bearer of a s mall uantity of reagents, and the produc hea't'is'tmnsand distributed over thewhole fl'i id.

It is of great ii'nportancc to use. the tin scraps in a stronglv-compressed state, which can, of course, be eil'ectcd bya pressing operation or by blows. Then it is possible to pack the tin scraps in strong bundles of fifty to siikty kilograms, for instance, into baskets or crates, so that the vessel in which the process is carried out contains several tons of tin Scraps. Thereby the cost of labor, which is an essential fact'pr in all such processes, is greatly reduced.

The stronger th'et'in scraps have been com- As already said, the pressure may be decreased or increased in the process; but always a varyingof the pressure must take place. By the term inert gas" used in the description and in the following claims we mean a gas which does not attack the scrap'or chlorin or the products thereof during the process of detinning.

Having thus fully described the nature of our invention, what we desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is l.
